Reality TV - What We Can Learn

Ok, so the other night, I had a bit of a reality TV evening. It was bad. I didn't mean to, it just sort of happened. Anyway, here is what I gleamed from these programs:

1. Wife Swap - If you are nice to your children, and pay them attention, rather than just stick them in front of the TV, they'll be nice back and not be complete brats. Its a shame that the woman here didn't seem to learn that. Or, for that matter, learn anything. A real moron.


2. Big Brother - There are guys, and I am NOT one of them, if when they are arguing with a woman, and the woman removes her top, gets her tits out and gets changed in front of them, DON'T STOP ARGUING TO OOGLE. That is just weird. Getting breasts out is surely the easiest way to stop any arguement in the world. This guy didn't think so. There she was (I forget her name - Michelle??), stripped to the waist, with her quite ample heaving bosom out to the world, and this MORON just kept screaming at her. Surely at least you should acknowledge them? You know, just an off-the-cuff "nice tits" would be nice. Not this guy. He sucked.


3. Average Joe - In which a very attractive girl says "I care more about personality than looks" so the TV producers set her up with 16 geeks, losers and fat ugly geeky losers. Now this was funny, just to watch her spirits break as the 16 got off the bus to greet her. Also, one of them did say "You have to treat women like you treat snowflakes", and then went on about them melting. I've never seen a woman melt (except for the Wicked Witch of the West of course), so I couldn't really empathise with this guy. I liked the guy who said "I haven't been this nervous since trying to climb a rope in gym class" a little bit more. Mainly because climbing a rope is so fucking hard. I'm not entirely sure what I learnt from this show, except, I guess, be careful what you say to reality TV producers, particularly if it is blatently untrue. She really should have said "I'm a dancer and cheerleader - I will take muscles and a beautiful face over personality every time", and saved herself all this trouble.
